This is a heavyweight engineering masterpiece. Really well made pen, I love the weight of this pen The machined finishing is exemplary and it writes all good also, it feels class in hand but it is quite weighty so if you have smaller slender hands this might not be the best option, This pen will outlive you if you don't lose it. The build quality and finish are amazing, precision stuff. Feels like you could hammer it through a brick wall. So glad I did ! This has to be the most over engineered pen ever, but it works well. Wasn't sure I could justify spending best part of £40 on a pen, but having read the reviews decided to give it a try. Love the movement and noise in the bolt action
Great service, heavey duty, built to last. Posted by Darren Dennett on 24th Jan 2022 The build quality of this pen is brilliant, it’s quite weighty, but I love it, and it writes very well. I don't actually need it, but y'know how it goes, don't you. I think I'm going to go find the brass one to buy, mostly to look at. Just remember, it is very heavy, that's all. If you want a very tough pen, buy it and maybe put a Fisher refill inside to make a first-class, if expensive, workshop pen. You have to look VERY carefully to see it at all and would never see it if you didn't know where to look. Unscrewing the tip to access the ink cartridge is almost magical, as the invisible join appears. If you don't know, the Fisher ink cartridge writes on most surfaces including wet, oily, and greasy, underwater, upside down, and in a vacuum, should you be rich enough to get up that far. It means that it will take the famous Fisher Space Pen refill that is sold with the G" Parker adapter.
Speaking of refills, this pen takes the G2 Parker type refill and so alternatives of all sorts are easily available. It's certainly not anything like under par. well, the pen I received writes very well, I found. Here and there the quality of the unbranded refill was said to be poor. It's quite addictive and very different from most retractable pens.
Bastion pen skin#
I don't have tough skin and can't say I thought that at all. Some have said the bolt action makes their thumb sore.
I love the weight of it, I really do, and find it good to write with, although maybe a solid hour or more might well show it to be not the best for that sort of endeavor. It is superbly made and I cannot see a single problem or fault with it, but just make sure you realise you are looking at a VERY heavy pen, so if that's not for you, don't buy it. This pen, being stainless should be a fair bit tougher, but it IS a pen and a VERY heavy one at that, so let's not be complaining if it's dropped and suffers any damage. No **** Sherlock? Brass and especially copper are softer materials and of course they will suffer. As an aside, several reviewers of the brass and copper pens say that if dropped on a hard surface, tip down, the end gets damaged and deformed. I have looked at many reviews on all sorts of websites, not just here, of this stainless and also the brass and copper pen, both of which unfortunately Heinnie doesn't sell alongside this stainless version. Usual first-class service and a first-class pen too. Received this fantastic pen today, after ordering it yesterday. Ditch the ink it comes with and stick a Schmidt refill in there and it'll just glide! Great service from Heinie too - my first time using them - ordered the pen late Sunday evening, and it arrived Tuesday morning! All the glowing reviews are spot on - this is a superbly crafted pen which will last a lifetime.
